“Fun local bar, great beer selection, and the food is pretty good too.They host awesome rock shows and sometimes do karaoke, bingo, trivia etc.All the bartenders are down to earth and give top notch service. Heard nothing but good things about the owners.Go for a beer stay for the fun.“

“Great Chicago Tavern. Old Style on tap. Malort behind the counter(ant your own risk, lol). Owner is awesome. Went here because growing up as a kid in Chicago I’ve been to taverns with the old man but never been to one as an adult. Would definitely go back here again.“

“This bar has been the bar of choice for a while now, being there often enough where they know what i drink when i walk in, and know my name. you cannot beat the price, and everyone there is friendly. if you're looking for a fancy mixed drink this isn't your place, but there's always cold beers and the shots keep flowing.“

“This place had a nice vibe and ambiance to it. I went here with a couple of girlfriend, so we can catch up and talk I'm shy ourselves. It was the perfect mix of music volume for enjoyment and conversation. I personally did not eat there, but one of my friends had some fries and she seemed to enjoy them lol. Overall, if you are looking for somewhere to chill with friends and relax after work, this is a great place.“

“It was my first visit and I must say it actually exceeded my expectations. It really is your typical neighborhood bar/restaurant. Food portions were generous and the prices extremely Fair. Well it was Friday and we decided to have the Lake Perch, people were talking about how good the chicken was so I intend to go back and try it. We came over from Munster Indiana so it was definitely a little bit out of the way but certainly enjoyable and worth the trip. Met the owner who also seem like a very nice fellow.“

“I only swing by like a bi-annual comet, glad to see new people but still the same crowd sorta. U-C tech providing to go drinks in sort of container that looks remarkably like a Saleen drip bag. Also like the mural of #44, he's Sept and I'm Jan. Oh well I'm still the eldest geez in the joint.“

“We had a layover in Chicago and were staying at the Hampton Inn, searching for a beer near by we came across this on Google and went, what a blast very friendly staff and bar tender Tish, my wife and I can't remember when such a great time in a bar, we will see you the next time we are in town.“
